Tagan TG480-u01 PSU worked fine for years in my wife's pc.
Her videocard had problems so i baked it, worked great for months.
Problems came back, backed it again and fine for months again ...
now i baked it for the third time ....
PC wouldn't start.
measured the videocard's resistance between ground and 12v (pci-e 6pin)
low ohm (?150? can't remember)
so last bake wasn't that good of an idea
anyhow...
psu 5vsb is present (purple wire), 5v switch is present (green wire) and pulls low on power-on
but nothing happens, no fans nothing
you can hear a very faint ticking
pulled the psu apart, nothing to see, even all the caps look pristine (the ones i measured esr are fine)
desoldered both heatsinks + diode's/transistors
only defect i could find till now is one of the 2 2sc3320 is blown (base-collector gives 150ohm both way's)
anything else i should check or should replace the 2sc3320 suffice ?

Half of the computer problems is caused by bad contacts 
O.k. then… unplug the power supply from the main board and put in a full size ATX PSU (yeeeesss! Exact that blown Powerman IP that I fixed a while back), plug it in and the old...
